Chelsea Connor: Mother Maria

Herpetologist, artist and graduate student from the Commonwealth of Dominica in the Caribbean: Chelsea Connor joins the podcast this month with a story of a community surviving the storm of Hurricane Maria.
Chelsea has worked on the diet overlap between the native and invasive species of anole on my home island as an undergrad and I am excited to continue her work as a grad student looking at Caribbean biogeography and Lesser Antillean reptiles. Chelsea is one of the co-founding members of BlackBirdersWeek with BlackAFinSTEM.
